A ‘shroom, or a ‘stool?
Isn’t it amazing how quickly mushrooms grow? Or is this a toadstool? I have no idea. This is why I always buy my mushrooms at Woolies, because at least then I know I can eet them?
I caught this one at my parent’s house on Sunday just as a think mist was lifting. I love the little water drops on the end of the blades of grass. And amazingly even though there were 25 people there for a birthday, nobody stepped on the mushroom. Perhaps they were scared of the faerie folk?
Was that a penguin I saw?
You don’t see penguins on the main road. Or do you? Boulders Beach in Simonstown is home to a colony of African penguins. But Simonstown Main Road is not home to a colony of African penguins. So, this morning I was surprised to cycle past the golf course and see two penguins wondering down the side of the road.
As soon as they say me they ducked into the bushes, so this is all I managed to shoot with my happy-snappy (no I don’t take my SLR when I cycle). While they look really cute, they don’t smell all that great…
The White Rabbit
(Cape Town away)
Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it’s getting! -White Rabbit (Alice in Wonderland)
Our guest house is not called the Rabbit Hole for nothing, here is one of the Rabbits that kept appearing on the lawn at unexpected moments.
Doesn’t he look like a little stuffed toy rabbit?
Rubbish Birds
No really, these are rubbish birds. I had a lot of cardboard that I needed to drop off at the large landfill/recycling site in Cape Town. The site is very close to the beach in Muizenberg, and when I got there, I found all these birds living on the trash, as tame as can be (and very well fed).
The visiting toad
We were having supper at a friends house the other day, and a Leopard Toad come wondering through their garden door, straight past Eccles, Lois’ guide dog. This litter fellow had not a care in the world, and Eccles was so surprised that she just sat there and watched.
The toad simply hopped inside, hopped around the lounge and kitchen for a few minutes, and then without even a goodbye, hopped back into the garden.
I believe that this guy is a regular visitor, and is often found sitting in their cats water bowl, much to the surprise of the poor cat!.
The Leopard Toad is native to Cape Town, and is often found in our gardens, especially when they breed in August. We find them in our garden quite often.
BTW: These guys even have their own website, where you can find out all about them.
